[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MS BASIC compatibility problems with Mac II

laser@pnet06.cts.com (Steve Jurovich) (05/25/88)

I have a 5MB Mac II with a 90 MB internal drive.  I am attempting to program
data acquisition/process control programs in MS Basic and it seems that
whenever I direct ASCII output to a serial port, the Mac crashes hard, ie
unrecoverably.  I've traced it to a single line of code that sends an ASCII
string to the modem port.  I have Macsbug installed but cannot trap on the
error because the crash affects all running program; the only recovery is
rebooting.  Is there anybody out there with a patch to fix this problem?

                                        Thanks,

                                        Steve Jurovich
